So php seems to have loaded memcached as a module, and php info says that it is loaded and is using v .37. I have not tried yet via apache, I've only been using this through cli right now. Any thoughts?

Thanks Charles. I feel silly now, but I also think it's kinda silly there are two modules for this...

It is kind of silly, but it's an unfortunately frequent pattern in PHP. Rather than updating the older extension to work with newer things in better ways, but breaking backwards compt, they simply created a new extension. See also mysql and mysqli.
